on horse to water by Zootman
zootman, you handled the business with this wall to wall sound. Great mixing as well. Now for the guitar, that did it totally for me. I thoroughly enjoyed your work here.

Kia ora, thanks, nice to get some feedback again on this. Yeah I was pretty happy with the wah guitar, felt a bit self indulgent having such a long coda but couldn't bring myself to edit it down. thanks again.

I got the urge to click an acoustic track, and I'm glad I did! Your vocals and the lyrics are wondrous! The guitar work made a perfect bed for these words, and it's tone is awesome. Really liked this song! Faved for sure!

This is a classic and pleasurable listen for sure! I'm loving the chilled out drum rhythms, as well as the dubby bass work. The vocals fit in just perfect with the vibe of the track. Amazing collaboration! Faved for sure!

Aces. The mix is great, instrument choices are also really good. Your mellow vox is hypnotizing. About 2:19 was a good tremolo effect stereo-wise. And then came back again at 3:00. A little coda at 4:00. good work.

Hi Cru, thanks a lot. Despite the fairly serious lyric/story I had fun making this one. Good to know you thought it was OK. cheers Chris

Great soundcape, entry into a dreamworld. Everything is so niced layered amazing vibe an feel you created. Today i was suprised to hear a track with your mellow voice. It has something natural that calms me down. It fits perfect to your beat. The lyrics are amazing , honest and real. I want to hear more of this kind.

Zootman replied 2nd Dec 2021 - 4 years ago
I read this poem in a book I keep by the toilet, and the words of the poem resonated with me. Sometimes I believe everyone in this world is fighting some sort of battle. Anyway, glad you found it calming, that was the effect I was trying for. All the best Chris.

Great track and vocals. The mix is top notch. Love how you have implented the guitar and bells to add a lot of atmospheric vibe.

Hi there, always good to hear the mix sounds OK. I have to mix mostly through headphones (or the car stereo!) so not always easy to know how it translates. Cheers Chris

I especially like the tremolo on the guitar. Kinda spacey, a bit trippy. Not a big fan of the drums but i do like the overall feel and atmosphere of the track. Vox sound decent in the mix, interesting lyrics too.

Cool!

Hi Wayne, thanks for the honest feedback. Might be right about the drums, maybe I'll look at trying some lofi type hits. Cheers

Nice work mate - I just got myself some new monitors and this sounds great on them - the drums and the bass especially- though all this is very nice (again your vocal is reminding me of The Chills) really strangling that guitar but it fits well for the track and the sound production is excellent
Zootman
Zootman replied 22nd Nov 2021 - 4 years ago
Cheers Ian, the bass was off an organ vst, I used it on death of a pacifist track too, thought it sounded really rich and warm. When you gonna break out your Hammond?!

Bonita canción amigo Chris, me gusta mucho la intro. Buena voz, muy trabajada y agradable. La base musical está muy bien construida, igual que la mezcla, se oye muy nítido y claro. Gran pista hermano. Que tengas un buen día. Paz y salud.

Nice music box. Took a second to find the beat, but when it came in is was crystal clear. Nice deep vox and melodic choices. Did you sing the harmony or cheat?

Very nice instrumentation and mix all the way through. Tasteful breaks.

Had to download this one, you get a fav.
Zootman
Zootman replied 21st Nov 2021 - 4 years ago
Hey there, cheers for the listen and fav. Funny considering our wee conversation re trap genre. Well...I have sung some harmonies before but not on this one. However I did record two separate vocals (i.e. I didn't use a doubler).I used a harmonizer (aegean music pitchproof harmonizer) freebie. It sounds completely artificial if you have too much wet mix in it, but I tried to use it just enough to colour the vox. I guess if you weren't sure I may have been subtle enough.

That synergy you talk of :)) strange mate, I love the vibe of this though, it's another crying out feel, great vocal mate great choice of poem well you liked my horn, I love your zen bells they are killer a great listen with wonderful instruments in zen

some days I think there's no such thing as chance, next day I believe the opposite. Yeah I wanted to tell a story with this one, though it isn't actually based on any real event or personal experience. I love the poem, it is in a book I keep next to the dunny (toilet) for when you want to sit and think.
